TALKING POINTS

10 STEPS TO IMPROVE SAFETY CULTURE
STEP 2 BE SURE THAT THERE IS VISIBLE
LEADERSHIP COMMITMENT TO SAFETY AT ALL LEVELS.
COMMITMENT (OR LACK OF) WILL
- SHOW. A COMPANY WITH A GREAT
SAFETY CULTURE PROVES THEIR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY THROUGH THE ACTIONS OF THE LEADERS AND HOW THEY EMPOWER THEIR EMPLOYEES.

STEP 4
DEAL WITH RISKS IN A TIMELY MANNER.
HAZARDS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED
MUST BE DEALT WITH IN A TIMELY AND EFFICIENT MANNER.
KNOWING THERE ARE RISKS AND
DOING NOTHING ABOUT THEM OR TAKING TOO MUCH TIME TO ADDRESS IS A SIGN OF COMPLACENCY AND WILL RESULT IN A DETERIORATING SAFETY CULTURE.

STEP 6 ENCOURAGE REPORTING OF
INJURIES, ILLNESSES AND NEAR MISSES.
NOTHING SHOULD BE IGNORED. TRANSPARENCY AND INTEGRITY IS
THE ONLY WAY. OSHA REQUIRES REPORTING OF INJURIES AND ILLNESSES AND ENCOURAGING THE REPORTING OF NEAR MISSES GREATLY REDUCES THE NUMBER OF ACTUAL INCIDENTS.

STEP 7 MANDATE SAFETY AS A CONDITION
OF EMPLOYMENT.
HOLD EMPLOYEES ACCOUNTABLE
BECAUSE LIVES ARE ON THE LINE.

WHO THINKS THEY ARE ABOVE THE RULES WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY? AN EMPLOYEE WHO DOESN’T SHARE THIS VALUE ISN’T AN EMPLOYEE YOU WANT.

10 STEPS TO IMPROVE SAFETY CULTURE
STEP 8 FOLLOW THE OLD SAYING THAT
ANYTHING WORTH HAVING IS WORTH WORKING HARD TOWARDS.

STEP 9 COMMUNICATE! A WELL WRITTEN SAFETY PLAN
MEANS NOTHING IF ALL EMPLOYEES DO NOT HAVE A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF ALL HEALTH AND SAFETY PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES. ALL SOP’S SHOULD INCLUDE SAFETY AND BE COMMUNICATED TO ALL EMPLOYEES.
